The steamer was run out of the engine house and to the front of Hank Well's restaurant, the Java Coffee House, where con nection was made with deep water. The hose was then taken up the street even with the Central Hotel, where the water pressure was tested. A stream of wates- was played that reached almost to the corner of Broadway. Nobody had the courage to get In direct connection with the stream ex cept one dog that strolled along from the direction of the P. K. Saloon. He apparently Intended to bite off a piece of the water as It left the nozzle. He changed his mind suddenly, owing to the fact that the stream was diverted In his direction. Immediately on the water coming In contact with his anatomy he decided to go In the same direc tion with the stream which he did for about forty feet. At that dis tance he regained his natural poise and started down Front street north in an efort to clip three minutes off the world's automobile speed record for one mile. Nobody go't the time on him. He will probably stop for breakfast In Portland this morning If the bar Is not too rough.
